“The Matrix Awakens” To Be Unreal Engine 5 Tie-In For “The Matrix Resurrections”

The Matrix Awakens is apparently a tie-in game using Unreal Engine 5 for the upcoming film. Dataminers claim that they’ve been provided with information that showed a new Unreal Engine 5 was coming for The Matrix Resurrections, set for release on December 22nd. The same data miners believe that this new game will launch alongside the crossover event for The Matrix Resurrections, which has been rumored for several weeks now.

Additionally, Gematsu tweeted an image for The Matrix Awakens which has appeared in the PlayStation Network database, bringing an incredible amount of credence to the existence of the leak. It also seems to indicate that the new game will come to PlayStation consoles, and not just PC, where the Unreal Engine 5 is now available to developers.

It’s incredibly difficult to guess what this tie-in game would actually be since we have zero additional information to go on as of right now. This obviously wouldn’t be the first time The Matrix has strayed into the territory of video games, with The Matrix Online launching as an MMO all the way back in 2005, shortly after the release of both The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions, as well as other titles such as Enter The Matrix and The Matrix: Path of Neo. 

With The Matrix Resurrections set to launch worldwide in theatres later this month, there shouldn’t be long to go now until the supposed tie-in game is announced. Taking advantage of a new-gen engine in the Unreal Engine 5 is a pretty exciting prospect, and this could technically be the first publicly-available game using the engine to be released worldwide.
